A prayer to pray now
Father, You are in charge of every part of this day, even the parts that feel random. The text that came at the wrong time. The traffic that slowed me down. The package that showed up early. The test result that left me waiting. You hold all of it. Send me into this day knowing You are arranging what comes my way, not leaving me to chance. I am tired, but I am Yours. The lot is in Your hand. The peace is mine to receive. Amen.
